At the gates I would suggest inch hardware cloth/welded mesh on the ground and heavy rubber skirts(Lined with your wire fencing) attached to the bottom and sides of the gates. This will allow them to flex when you open the gates but seal the gaps to deter the rabbits. You can use recycled car mats to do this as a nice up cycle 🙂

here in Nz we have ring grip clips which u use with a set of pliers. This is the fastest and longest lasting way to attach netting too fences. Available on line - in america they are called hog rings and u use single rings ( u become very quick at it I did at the ripe old age of 65 doing about 100 metres). Rapid staplers make a set that take a cartridge or rings but much more expensive. Trouble with cable ties they degrade quite quickly in the sun and much much slower to fix

Mount it 8 feet high with the entrance facing away from the winter wind. The entrance should be oval and no more than 4 inches high and five inches wide. Small warm blooded animals carry ticks and are a reservoir for disease. Remove tick housing, drain the disease reservoir and suppress a food supply for coyote and pit vipers; provide nest boxes for Barn Owls.

You are on the right track with the chicken wire but be aware that they climb very well when they can't burrow under. We eventually got on top of our rabbit problem by bringing a rabbit trapper in. Live traps emptied early every morning yielded over 600 rabbits off about 12 acres. The rabbits went to market and were not wasted. To see where they are coming in look for 'runs' into your paddock then drop a set number of carrot sticks so you can count how many are left and thereby seeing if the run is still active. I do hope you're efforts are a success.

Something that someone pointed out to me when I was a wee lad was that rabbits teeth constantly grow whilst wire fencing doesn't and they will eventually nibble a hole to get through if they can't find one. They'll follow the fence looking for weaknesses and he was installing drop boxes along the fence to catch them. You could possibly use drop boxes either side of the gates to capture any following the fence to them.

Hi Liz, we had lots of daffodils growing along our fence that naturalized very well over the years. I'm thinking they won't like coming up through the chicken wire, they really do get a lot of greenery and either they will struggle or it might push the fence up. Maybe if you plant along the edge of the fencing on the ground, they can come up through it a bit and in front? I'm not sure if sheep would eat daffodils but they'll certainly lay on them and walk all over them. When I had my property in NY I never ever had rabbits in the garden or yard when I had my dog. She didn't chase them or try to catch them, they just didn't like coming when they could smell a dog. As soon as my dog was no longer living with me, the rabbits started coming, very boldly. Just a thought. We have rabbits where we moved to and so far just putting the chicken wire up has helped. It's 3' and I bend about 6" our at the bottom, not much but I don't have the taller fencing. It seems to be working to keep them out of the veg garden. Lots of our other flowers, shrubs and trees we're adding to the landscape have to be protected, especially before winter when they don't have as much to eat.

They're even decimating her ornamental gardens around the house now. She said in the 80 years she's been there they've never been this bad. Not only a nuisance but it's really quite dangerous having them digging huge holes in your fields and gardens, I'm scared she's going to break a leg!

Wild rabbits are a little different as they need to quickly find a hole to escape the buzzards overhead. My wild rabbits get in but my veg etc is at the end of a cul de sac of chicken wire and they get frightened of being trapped in there and aren't too much of a problem. Most of my place is dry stone wall, I've covered the gates in chicken wire to the ground but a small dragging edge seems to be adequate. In some places a paved path goes upto the outward opening gate and the net shuts against it. My rabbits dig into banks, especially when fresh and no grass sward has built up. They also like a mound of branches as this provides safety while digging holes. Rehoming a greyhound seems to be my next disuading technique😉.

Pest problems that eat your favourite plants, rabbits, deer, pigeons and squirrels then there are rats and mice. Gardening for wildlife is fun🥴. Netting good to protect hedges may provide a burrow bank. Rabbits don't eat daffodils, bluebells, wild garlic, geraniums, comfrey, day lilies, crocosmia Honeysuckle, I think corn cockle tend to leave buttercup. Be aware when planting a hedge quite a few hedging plants could be toxic for livestock and can not be planted, I believe one is the spindle tree Hawthorn and blackthorn are traditional livestock hedging plants. If you want something more formal beech but may be eaten. FWAG has some good books and guidance. Have fun.🐇

Very cute to watch but the holes were everywhere. I think plant those bulbs inside the fence that way they are sure to grow, no concern in future if you want to use sheep goats etc, be careful when grass grows through if mowing with mower not livestock One question with the fence not going down under ground will bunny not dig under?

Sheep are sensible enough not to eat daffodils. I have them growing everywhere on my farm. Flooding has spread the seeds over the fields, but the cheerful golden flowers are never touched by horses, cows, sheep or goats. You are definitely going to need the sheep to eat the grass in the laneway where it grows through the netting on the ground, because there will be no other way to stop the grass growing 4 feet high! Also, I would be worried about that narrow strip of grass between your boundary fence and the internal horizontal netting, with no access for cutting the grass. Grass seeds blown into my garden are the worst weed problem in my rural area. Long grass sheds billions of tiny grass seeds that turn into the most tenacious-rooted bane of my life in no time. Perhaps that internal netting fence should be moved while you still can, before the grass grows through it, so there is a little laneway that your sheep can patrol on trimming duty.

Could you dig a trench, place the wire at the bottom (and up the fence), put the bulbs on top, and fill it back in? I’ve seen people dig trenches for planting bulbs. Seems like the roots wouldn’t have too many issues growing around the wire. Also, maybe you could do it on the inside of the food forest. A daffodil Boulder sounds lovely and I’ve read in some permi texts that they’re good to incorporate in orchards/guilds/forests. Can’t remember why though…

No, I’m thinking you’re cruel and nasty though. People like you complain about foxes and want to shoot them, but foxes keep rabbits away from your garden. The fencing should work, there is a reason people use it.

That’s hard work but should pay off! No foxes where you are Liz? No rabbits would ever come near my garden because we have loads of resident foxes.

Plenty of foxes in the woods nearby and they certainly patrol through the fields, as I've seen their tracks in the mud, but I guess there are either too many rabbits or their hiding places are too good!

LOL, if only! They seem to like anything I plant or have in pots waiting to plant, except rhubarb, they've kept well away from the rhubarb and a few ornamental plants, but many that are 'unliked by rabbits' are being eaten by this lot! Badly behaved bunnies!

Your ties look as long as my reusable ties. If yours are reusable just bend them down the fence, don't cut them short.

but the cost of an air riffle and knowing how to use on a moving target means lots of pellet waste!

We have a cat, his name is Monty, but even he can't deter the number of rabbits here.

A small feisty dog like a Jack Russell would keep those rabbits occupied!
